IntroductionThe amout of pollutants released by motor vehicles in a community can affect a lot of its sectors (such as agriculture, tourism), and the health of its occupants. But in transportation engineering, these amounts of pollutan ts can be predicted given the average speeds of the passing cars.

In this machine problem, a program that would calculate the amount of pollutants released by vehicles is developed by interpolating their values from the given data below:
Speed[kph]
96.000000
88.000000
80.000000
72.000000
64.000000
56.000000
48.000000
40.000000

The program will use the Lagrangian Interpolating Polynomial method to interpolate.
II.

Objectives
In this machine problem, there are three primary objectives to be accomplished. 1. To store the table above into a file,
2. To read the file from (1) and to print it hard copy of it (interpreted as to print it to a .csv file, along with the interpolated values),
3. And to interpolate the amount of pollutants released by vehicles with an average speed of 75 kph.

III.

Methodology
To accomplish all these objectives, the program uses the following algorithm: 1. Define all preprocessor directives, functions, variables, and pointers required,

A Look into Quality Management

James E Casey or "Jim" established the American Messenger Company in 1907 after borrowing $100. The company then and still is based on the same principals, customer service and reliability. Over the years they have made a lot of changes from their making deliveries on bicycles to today air freight and world-wide service. Some of the innovations since their start have changed the world and the economy. Now people can track items sent to them from home, businesses can send products from factories to anywhere the world in a moment’s notice. Innovations like these have changed what once was a limited local economy to a global market where anything is possible. UPS has been at the forefront of these changes but they still never left the original values of customer service and reliability. The quality of service and the ability to keep cost competitive has helped them expand to what they are today, a global leader in the shipping world.
The American Messenger Company became the United Parcel Service in 1919, after the company expanded from Seattle to California and Oakland. They began offering common carrier services which gave them the upper hand among the private and commercial parcel post. They worked in the same manor as many retail stores, and developed a system that was easy to maintain...

...continue to be elected if their laws did not have the best interest?
Before civilizations were formed, there were no rules or boundaries. It was an anything goes type of world, full of dangers and risk. Hobbes calls this the state of nature, which exists "during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called warre; and such a warre as is of every man against every man". While other philosophers describe the state of nature in other terms, they all share the basic idea that any form of civilization is better. So even with rules that mainly benefit the ruler, that is still preferable to any alternative.
An argument that shows some support for Thrasymachus’s statement would look at pre-modern Europe. The 1500’s to 1800’s marked a time where Europe was following the monarchy system. These rulers collected taxes from their citizens, lived with excessive luxury, and led the land. Thrasymachus was correct for these scenarios, with rulers exclusively having their own best interest in mind. People followed them because of their divine right to rule. Basically they claimed that God chose them personally to rule. They even had support from the Catholic Church (originally, some separated from it for other personal reasons). The royal class enjoyed this excess of luxury for a while, yet this only lasted temporarily and eventually they were all overthrown, usually ending with their execution....

...protection against the Inquisition. Galileo has freedom to practice science. The Chancellor suggests that he would make money from inventing something. Andrea returns with the lenses and Galileo warns him not to disclose any details of their recent conversations to anyone.
Scene Two
Galileo presents his new invention the telescope to a crowd of dignitaries, claiming it is the result of 17 years’ research. All the dignitaries applaud to the new invention. At the end of the scene Galileo’s daughter, VIRGINIA, brings Ludovico to pay his compliments to her father. Ludovico who has given this idea of concave and convex mirror combination mode looks at Galileo and says “You have made the cover red. In Holland it was green.”
Scene Three
The scene opens on the terrace of Galileo’s home and the telescope pointed towards the sky and he urges Sagredo to look the moon. Sagredo examines the moon through the telescope. Galileo explains that the light he can see is not the moon’s own, but reflected from the earth. Sagredo fears his friend will go the way of Giordano Bruno, the man burned at the stake for claiming that the moon and the earth are the same. The Chancellor arrives having learned that a cargo of telescopes from Holland has arrived in Venice. The instrument is worthless and he is offended by Galileo’s fraud: “I showed you nothing but kindness and you have made me a laughing stock in the city of my birth”.
Galileo confides to Sagredo that...

...ever-contradictory is that the arguments are presented for both the benefit of cheap amusements for a woman s place in society and for the reinforcement of her place. In one breath, Peiss says that mixed-sex fun could be a source of autonomy and pleasure as well as a cause of [a woman s] continuing oppression. The following arguments will show that, based on the events and circumstances described in Cheap Amusements , the changes in the
ways that leisure time is spent by women has indeed benefited them in both the workplace and at home. This position requires a closer look at specific leisure activities; where and with whom they are spent, and the ultimate effect that these activities had on society and gender roles. More significantly however, is how the establishment of leisure activities for women came about, rather than the simple change in availability of such activities. First let s look at Peiss s position on the matter of how cheap amusements challenged gender traditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
What does Peiss have to say about women s roles at the turn of the century? Peiss argues initially that young women experimented with new cultural forms in terms of sexual expressiveness and social interaction with men, linking heterosocial culture to a sense of modern individuality and personal style. Creating this style was an assertion of self. Peiss
quickly discounts these assertions by saying that...

...﻿1.The problem of bringing up children has always existed in every human community; it will exist as long as there are children: for mankind it is eternal. While bringing up children, parents, teachers, trainers, educators, mentors, tutors, grandparents, uncles, aunts, elder brothers and sisters, camp counsellors, nannies, headteachers and other school authorities, governesses, nurses, coaches, supervisors, etc. usually face a lot of problems, such as misbehaviour, disobedience, aggression, rudeness, disrespect, naughtiness, deceit, arrogance, impudence, impertinence and dishonesty. When grown-ups fail to cope with these problems successfully, they usually label children “difficult”. Often it is the result of their own wrong, improper behaviour or ill, inadequate treatment of children. It is generally acknowledged that children tend to copy grown-ups. And if a grown-up is rude, irritable, impatient, intolerant, aggressive, shouts all the time, etc. a child is most likely to be the same. For an ill-mannered grown-up can hardly expect a child to have good manners with his or...

...A look into “The Welcome Table” with Religion and Racism
Eng 125: Introduction to Literature
Floyd J. Maulding Jr.
January 22, 2012
The short story chosen is Alice Walker’s The Welcome Table which is in Chapter 3.1 in R. Wayne Clugston’s Introduction into Literature. , this is a story that talks racism and religion. This story shows how when people believe that they are in the right; there is no place for segregation. Jesus takes us as who we are we just need to have faith in him kind to others.
Now, I know there are many religions in today’s world. But the author Alice Walker wrote this story during a time when racism between whites and blacks were at a high. The story is themed around the Christian religion and the bigotry that existed even in the church (the house of god) when there should have been a common goal of coming together in worship. I believe the story is meant to open the eyes of others into forgetting that we are made different and that we all are God’s children. When you look at the small spiritual quote meant for sister Clara Ward it gives you quick glimpse of what the story is about: “Walk and talk with Jesus” and “Tell God how you treat me.” (Walker, par. 1) To me the theme is the age old saying “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
The story had a very compelling plot. A plot is described in our book as: “a dynamic element in fiction, sequence of interrelated, conflicting...

...Question – Chapter 2: Research Problem2
When Oprah gave away Pontiac G6 sedans to her TV audience, was the value of the cars taxable? On Labor Day weekend in 2006, World Furniture Mall in Plano, Illinois, gave away $275,000 of furniture because the Chicago Bears shut out the Green Bay Packers in the team’s football season opener at Lambeau Field in Green Bay (26-0). Was the free furniture in the form of a discount or rebate taxable, or should the furniture company have handed the customers a Form 1099-MISC?
Response
After thoroughly researching taxable and nontaxable income, the Pontiac G6 sedans awarded to Oprah’s television audience would have been subject to federal taxation and included in their gross income. The Code of Federal Regulations states the taxable and nontaxable income to be included in one’s federal taxes, the code reads that “if you win a prize in a lucky number drawing, television or radio quiz program, beauty contest, or other event, you must include it in your income” (Prizes and Awards, 2003). The fair market value of all prizes and awards, other than certain scholarships, must be included in gross income (Hoffman p. 4-33).
In further research, CNN Money reported that the cars Oprah gave away were indeed subject to federal taxation. Pontiac agreed to pay most of the local charges, including state sales tax and licensing fees, but the fair market value of the car, $28,500, was still subject to be added to...
